This invention relates to improvements in contalners and more particularly to contamers for liquids such as olive oil and similar products.

5 A 'particular object of this invention is the provlsion of a liquid container of metal havmg a spout thereon in which a measured quantity of oil can be delivered as desired by the user with a minimumof leakage.

A further object of the invention is the provision of .a sealed container which, when I opened, will deliver-any desired quantity of oil neatlyr and accurately and which can be hermetically closed.- ater ysuch delivery is made. r i f y Further objects of my invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which i y Fig. 1 is' a top view of my improved container partly closed.

Fig. 2 is a topview of my improved container in operative position.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. f Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the line 4--4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a top view of a modified form of the spout in a closed position.

Fig. 6 is a top view. of a, modified :form of the same spout shown in Fig.'5 in an open position. Fig. 7 is a sectional view along the line 77 of Fig. 6.

10 represents 'the can or container; 11 are embossed portions of the top of the container constituting the tracks upon which the spout 12 operates; 13 represents the tracks on the spout itself co-operating with the track 11 of the top of the can.

14 is the end or delivery portion of the spout, 15 the opening in the same, 15a representing the' corresponding'opening in the can. 16 re resents the air hole in the spout and in the can. p

It is understood that the delivery opening and the air hole opening in the can'itselfare closed when the container reaches the con-` sumer but may be opened with an appropriate 'toot 16a t e corresponding registering air hole 17 is the slot in the spout, the end movement of which is controlled by the pin 18. 19 is the grip or finger member by which the spout is moved back and forth.

In Fig. 7 is shown a modied form of the sa track 20 co-operating with a modiiied form of the track 21 on the spout. In the modification shown in Fig. 7 the spout member is held ina positive indentation in the to of the can whereas in the form shown in Flg. 1, the so spout member is merely held by frictional contact in the top of the can, there being suficient resiliency in saine to snap thev spout member into position onto the tracks 11 on the top of the can. v

I have provided herein a simple and improved form of delivery spout for this type of container and it is evident that changes in the same may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is: l

1. A container for liquids having a at top, an auxilary member for delivering the liquid from said container attached to said top, tracks formed in said top to receive said auxiliary member and complementary means in said delivery member co-operating with said tracks, a spout member attached to said auxiliary delivery member, openings in said delivery member and corresponding openings in the topof said .-container. v

2. A container for liquids having a flat top, an auxiliary delivery ymember attached to said top and operating in tracks formed on said top, alspout attached to the end of said auxiliary delivery member, openings in the body of said delivery member and corresponding openings in the top of said con. tainer.

3. A container for liquids having a flat top, an auxiliary delivery member attached to said top', tracks formed vin said top, flan s formed on said auxiliary delivery mem r by which same is horizontally movable on said tracks, anda spout attached to the end of said delivery member.

' 4. A containerv for liquids having a flat top, an auxiliary delivery member .attached to said top, tracks formed in said top, anges 10 l Y, v

formed on said auxiliary delivery member by which same is horizontally movable on said tracks, a spout attached to the end of said delivery member, and complementary openings in said delivery member and in said top.

5. A container for liquids having a-ilat top, an auxiliary delivery member attached to said top, tracks formed in said top, flanges formed on said auxiliary delivery member by which same is horizontally movable on said tracks, a spout attached to the end of said delivery member, complementary openings in said delivery member and in said top, and means to limit the horizontal movement of said auxiliary delivery member on said top.

A container for liquids, an auxiliary delive-ry member attached to the top of said conytainer and horizontally slidable in tracks formed on said top, a spout formed on the end of said auxillary member and means limiting the horizontal movement of said member.

7. A container for liquids, an auxiliary delivery member attached to the top of said container and horizontally slidable in tracks formed on said top, a spout formedon the end of said auxiliary member, means limiting the horizontal movement of said member,

and complementary openings in said memberl and in the top of said container.

In testimony whereof I ailx my si MARTIN ULL memos attire.v
